Well that's embarrassing

Georgia State University's presidential search has failed. The article implies that the final candidate withdrew his name from consideration. That makes three of the three finalists who have withdrawn their own name.

So, what's going on? Is this a situation where folks are getting a peek under the hood and deciding they don't want to tackle the challenges, or is it just an odd convergence of personal situations that made the job a bad fit? Are we not paying enough?

This is the sort of story that Maria Saporta could call a few folks she has known forever and figure out what is going on. Y'know, actually report stuff, instead of just speculate. Like me.
